For the most part, neither the U. S. government nor the U. S. media has adequately acknowledged or helped Cuba fight what has been the latest vast explosion and fire that direly concerns the island's people. For five days the raging inferno largely destroyed the vital oil depot in Matanzas 65 miles east of Havana. Already -- on the heels of the COVID pandemic and the everlasting U. S. Embargo -- cities in Havana and across the island were facing dreadful energy blackouts. But thanks and congratulations to NBC News for the blazing headline above that today -- on August 10th, 2022 -- tried to remind the American people what they are ignoring across the Florida Straits.
Yamil Lage, the great Cuban photojournalist for the vast Paris-based AFP News Agency, has saturated many newspapers and other venues around the world with photos for the last five days that are chronicling the devastating fires in Matanzas. Both the Paris-based AFP and London-based BBC News Agencies have reported that, unlike the United States, that Mexico quickly dispatched help to fight the Matanzas inferno.
NEIGHBORS: US & Cuba.
